SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Fixed Mobile Convergence (FMC) will grow slowly at first in China, and then experience swift growth after the commencement of 3G services between 2008 and 2010, reports In-Stat (http://www.in-stat.com). In 2005, there were about 400,000 consumer FMC subscribers, and that number will increase to 11.4 million in 2010, the high-tech market research firm says. FMC allows for collaboration capabilities between telecom networks and client devices including the ability for any terminal to access the network anywhere and anytime, regardless of bandwidth and rates.

“From 20052008, convergence in China will mainly happen in the narrow band voice field,” says Kevin Li, In-Stat analyst. “From 20082010, converged broadband voice and data will dominate the FMC market. After 2010, convergence of multimedia content will emerge.”In-Stat
